So sad. Fought with great determination. My heart goes out to all his family and friends. No age at all. Rest in peace.

Ah no this is awful. I'm actually going to watch Rochdale at Altrincham this afternoon. Sure there'll be a tribute there but that's so sad.

Three times diagnosed with cancer. The poor lad was dealt a shit hand in life. Hopefully, he can now rest easy. Sleep well Joe, you've earned it.

Awful news far too young RIP Joe

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Very sad, especially after beating the bastsrd twice. I remember hearing his story on GMR sport when he scored that goal and I was made up for the lad. Life's so cruel sometimes. RIP.

For those interested, there was a minutes applause pre-match and then the game actually stopped altogether in the 15th minute (his squad number at Dale) for another round of applause. Very moving and fair play to the Altrincham players, fans and the match officials for that. Very moving. RIP Joey.
